IG management for a local gym

Hello everyone!
I have a client (local crossfit box) who wants to improve their Instagram page and get new leads. I have experience with f/u/l method but the client doesn’t want to follow anyone with the business account (must agree to this condition).

Considering that the client has about $150/month to spend on ads, what strategy would you suggest to use?

P.s No child strategy as the client has no budget for that and i don’t have enough time to manage it on my own.

Try buying 2-3 big accounts with good engagement related to fitness and then start a child method with those. It requires less time and if they are managed properly, you will have results. Also, you can put the main account in the bio of those secondary accounts and on every post, put in the caption the main account. Use the proper hashtags and you will see growth.

for a local company always try to find local "influencers". They don't have to be real influencers but maybe some semi-famous people of this area. people everybody knows.
e.g. Dj's, Barkeepers, Athletes, Artists, ...
Let them test your (clients) local company for free and they post it on their social media.
According to the (clients) region, be inventive when it comes to finding such semi-famous people.

Also, you can collaborate with some other local companies which have some good social media presence. Both of the companies could benefit from it.


Hope you get some ideas and best of luck with your client

creating a 20 child accounts should be worth in such case, but influencers is the answer also, try to make come collabs. good luck

What the goal of this? account growth or leads? if leads, than you can work with other platforms like Quora, Reddit and engage with the community so people can know about your client services. It takes time and not show instant results like clients usually want but it what it is what it is. if your client is on budget than offer them PPC services with G/FB

The client seems to have a low budget you won't be able to do miracles with this, just my opinion, I might be wrong.

I would do a small amount of child accounts, honestly
